Shooting in Raton Leaves Man Dead | Santa Fe News

A deadly standoff erupted Saturday night in Raton, New Mexico, when 68-year-old Paul Andrew Terry opened fire on responding officers during a domestic disturbance call. After initially shooting at police from his home and ignoring state troopers’ attempts to de-escalate via phone, Terry continued firing from inside and outside the residence. Officers returned fire, fatally striking him — no officers were injured, though vehicles sustained bullet damage. The New Mexico State Police are leading the investigation, collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses before handing findings to prosecutors for potential legal review. Officer identities remain confidential pending completion of interviews, and the local police chief has not yet issued public comments.
